B.) Marua will spend 2 hours to read 100 pages of sociology which means she can only read 60 pages of economics.
Therefore, the opportunity cost of reading 100 pages of sociology is forfeiting 40 pages (2 hours) of economics.
Answer:
$
Step-by-step explanation:
Let 
the cost of one brownie, 
cost of one cookie
Times 
on both sides on the second equation above to get the following:
To find the value of 
, use substitution:
the cost of a brownie is $

will u plz give me brainliest?
So to solve for this, we need to set up proportional fractions, which I will help show you how to do.
First, if we are given an amount out of a total, we need to put it over x (if we are looking for the total). It looks like this:
12/x, 12 being the given number and x being the total.
If we are given the total but are looking for an amount, put the total at the bottom of the fraction (aka the denominator). It looks like this: x/16, 16 being the total amount and x being the amount out of the total.
We have a total of 40 test problems, so we can put our total at the bottom, x/40.
X is the amount of questions answered correctly (we are looking for x in the question).
We have answered 80% correct, so put 80% over 100 (100 being the total). It should look like this: 80/100.
Now we have our two fractions: x/40 & 80/100.
Set these up as an equation.
x/40 = 80/100.
Now this is where things may get tricky if you don't pay attention.
Multiply the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of x/40 by the denominator (the bottom number of a fraction) of 80/100.
Your product equation should look like this:
x times 100. This will give is 100x. Leave it at that.
Now, multiply the denominator of x/40 (the bottom number of the fraction) by the numerator (the top number of a fraction) of 80/100. It should look like this:
80 x 40. This will give us 3200.
Now set up our products as an equation.
100x = 3200.
To solve for x, divide both sides by 100.
3200/100 = 32.
x = 32.
I hope this helps and has taught you something!
